The look in Zhu Ping'an's eyes was shining when he looked at him, just like a hungry wolf seeing food.
"What are you going to do?" Li Shu was frightened by Zhu Ping'an's eyes. She thought Zhu Ping'an was going to do something and took a step back.
"Look ahead." Zhu Ping'an pointed to the sea excitedly.
It turns out that I was looking ahead! What could be good to see ahead? What could be better looking than me
Li Shu pouted and muttered something silently, then turned in the direction of Zhu Ping'an's finger and looked from near to far towards the sea. It felt ordinary, the vast sea, blue and infinite, like a blue prairie, no different from usual, nothing special.
"There's nothing in front, you liar." Li Shu pouted.
"Who lied to you? Do you see those black spots on the sea?" Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an walked behind Li Shu, stretched out his hands to hold Li Shu's face, and turned to the place where the black spots were on the sea.
“Ah… Who told you to touch me…” Li Shu made a lot of noises, but her body did not show any resistance and she let Zhu Pingan hold her face.
"Did you see it?" Zhu Pingan asked.
"I saw a big-tailed wolf!" Li Shu rolled her eyes, pouted her lips and sneered, her pretty face flushed.
"Can't you see those black spots in the sea?" Zhu Ping'an held Li Shu's face and corrected the direction again.
Black spots? What black spots are there
Li Shu complained in her heart, then followed Zhu Ping'an's guidance and looked over there. At first, she could only see the endless sea, but if she looked closely, she could see several black spots floating in an orderly manner on the sea.
Li Shu knew what the black dots in the sea meant without Zhu Ping'an telling her. There was no other way for these orderly arranged black dots to be anything other than ships. No matter whose ship it was, no matter what it was made of, whether it came here specially or just happened to pass by, as long as it was a ship, it represented the hope of leaving this isolated island.
However, when she saw the boat, Li Shu felt a sense of loss.
leave
I am really reluctant to leave.
It's great here. I can spend every day with him. I can greet him in the morning and say good night at night. We can pick crabs and lobsters together on the beach, catch fish and birds together and take out bird eggs. We can chat in the sun, watch him practice calligraphy, listen to him recite, listen to him tell stories, bicker with him, make delicious food for him, and decorate the cave we live in together beautifully... ...
Ship, go away, don't come over here... ... Or, it would be better if you come a few days later... Li Shu looked at the black spot in the distance and prayed in her heart... ...
"Did you see it this time?" Zhu Ping'an let go of the hand that was holding Li Shu's face and asked again.
"See it, see it, a ship, a ship is coming." Li Shu pretended to be cheering and happy, but she didn't mean that at all in her heart.
Zhu Ping'an and his friends could see the black ship when they were standing on the island, but they might not be able to see Zhu Ping'an and his friends on the island when they were standing on the ship. After all, the island was quite large. Even if the people on the ship had good eyesight, they could not see Zhu Ping'an and his friends on the island.
At this time, the beacon tower became particularly important. When Zhu Ping'an was about to add some wet firewood into the beacon tower to make more smoke, he suddenly heard Li Shu ask a question.
"Zhu Ping'an, what did you hide in your pocket? It's so hard that it hit me." Li Shu felt something hitting her from behind and asked curiously.
"Nothing." Zhu Ping'an was a little confused because he had nothing in his pocket.
"How could that be? It's all my fault." Li Shu stretched out her voice, dissatisfied with Zhu Ping'an's answer.
How could it be possible that it was you who was put on the spot? Zhu Pingan said he was innocent, he clearly didn't bring anything with him, he looked down speechlessly, and then suddenly found that he had erected another tent without knowing when.
Can you be more content? Don’t you understand the principle of a vast land with abundant resources? Zhu Ping’an looked at the small tent and his face turned red.
Li Shu also turned her head at this moment.
Naturally, he also noticed Zhu Ping'an's abnormal physical reaction, so it would be strange if he didn't see a small tent.
"shameless!"
Li Shu's cheeks turned red with shame, and she cursed in anger and glared at Zhu Ping'an. Then she raised her foot and stepped hard on Zhu Ping'an's foot, and rolled it hard as if in revenge.
Oh
This girl’s foot was really heavy. Zhu Ping’an was caught off guard and screamed out when he was stepped on.
"What's wrong, what's wrong, uncle?"
Zhu Ping'an's scream of pain startled the little maidservant who was cleaning up in the cave. She ran out quickly and asked what happened.
"Ships, there are ships coming on the sea." Zhu Ping'an naturally would not say that he had just been a hooligan and had his foot stepped on by Li Shu in retaliation. Instead, he bent over and endured the pain, pointing at the sea as if he was constipated and explained to the little maid Baozi.
Boat
The little maidservant was stunned at first, then she made a voice many times louder than Zhu Ping'an's, and then she hugged Li Shu excitedly, jumping and dancing with joy, and she was almost crying with excitement.
While Baozi and Li Shu were celebrating, Zhu Ping'an found a lot of wet firewood and put it into the beacon tower. He put a lot of firewood and added a lot of wet leaves and vines to fill the huge beacon tower.
The weather was also good. There was no wind on the island at this moment, and black smoke columns rolled straight up to the sky.
Looking at the beacon tower with billowing black smoke that looked like a monster emerging from the body, Zhu Ping'an nodded with satisfaction. He believed that such a thick column of smoke could definitely be seen from the sea outside.
"Brother Dachuan, go to the cabin and rest for a while. We are here for you. You haven't slept for two days."
On the deck of a ship that had drifted on the vast ocean for two days and two nights, a dark-skinned, sturdy young man stood at the front of the deck, holding the railing with his hands and looking into the distance. His face looked very tired, but his eyes were unusually bright.
There were a few fellow villagers of the same age beside him, who tried to persuade him with concern.
"It's okay, I'm not tired. I often go up the mountain with my father and can see far." The sturdy young man with dark complexion shook his head, and his lips were a little cracked when he spoke.
The person next to him quickly handed over a sheepskin water bag. The sturdy young man didn't hesitate. He said thank you and took it and took a few gulps. Then he returned the water bag to the man and looked into the distance. After a few glances, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he was possessed by evil spirits. He pushed the person next to him away, ran to the mast in three or two steps, climbed up quickly like a monkey, grabbed the mast and looked towards an island in the distance.
"There's smoke, there's smoke on that island, it must be our brother and the others." The sturdy young man on the mast looked into the distance and shouted excitedly.
Soon, the deck was bustling with people, and then the sails were hoisted, the rudders were full, and the oars were flying. The boats headed for the island. It didn't take long for the boats to reach the edge of the island. The leading boat didn't care about the damage to the hull caused by the reefs, and rushed straight over without any care.
